The better you do, the better we do; our interests are completely aligned. We offer, Growth Capital, Decision Support, and excellent Network Connections Investment Criteria -Demonstrated Traction We look for startups that are clearly wanted by their target markets. Evidence of this may include sales revenue, pre-sales, media, expressions of interest, letters of intent, etc. -Seeking a pre-money valuation of $1m-$4m Investing in early-stage companies is fraught with risk, even for the most experienced investors. To account for this, valuations tend to be relatively low at this stage. -Attractive market potential We look for businesses that are either targeting growth markets with limited competition or markets that are susceptible to disruption. -Strong, defensible product We look for businesses that possess intellectual property and/or other barriers to entry that are difficult for others to replicate or overcome. -Quality team and plan We look for teams that have the experience, energy, and connections to execute the plans that they propose. -10x return potential We prefer to make our returns from an exit rather than dividends and typically like to see the potential for a 10x return on investment.
